There's a lengthy info post about the Arms Hotel. Essentially, if your character needs temporary or semi-permanent living quarters, e-mail me and I'll set you up. For big events with lots of visitors, there will usually be a sign-up post for the hotel in advance. One day I'll get around to writing an info post for The Gig, but if you are interested in renting a horse for the day, e-mail me or just ping into that day's post.
I'll be happy to take questions, suggestions for what I should add to my info posts or any tropes that I may have missed.
